O baby!

Hello everyone!

Today has kind of felt...meh. I mean, nothing bad, but I did drive around a lot and it is tiring (and infuriating, people suck at driving; we have incredibly busy roads). I drove to Dunedin to turn in my packet for the scholarship to attend NTI in DC. I hope I get it! I'll find out by the 26th.

After, I decided to go donate blood. I am O-, so they are always in critical need.

I love the cheesy shirts they give for donating:

(what the hell kind of rhythm is that?^^^)

I think today's donation makes a GALLON, woo!

I was feeling pretty good after donating, I never feel bad or anything. I lounged around the house for a bit, and then decided to drop off a book to the library, go to TJ Maxx, etc. Well, I started to feel super sluggish. I know I did not drink enough fluids. I also had an INTENSE craving for bagel. NO IDEA, people. I had this long debate in my head about going to the store and buying bagels and cream cheese, then thought maybe I should go to panera or somewhere else to get one bagel , so then they won't be in the house. But then I thought about saving money, etc. ugh, at this point, I was far from home and starting to feel nauseous and annoyed. The traffic was terrible.

I stopped at Publix and caved in. I told myself if I had an apple with the bagel, then it would all be good. I don't normally obsess so much over food like this, so I'm not too sure what was going on today.

I ended up getting a Thomas' whole wheat bagel with whipped cream cheese (yes!!) and some cheddar cheese.
